Ashlee Blankenship & Blades of Blue already have the Bluegrass world asking for more. Comprised of former members from the bands Statement, Grasstown and No Speed Limit, this group of exciting musicians will remind you why you fell in love with bluegrass.

Ashlee has been singing for years with the Bluegrass Gospel group Statement. After years of playing hundreds of shows up and down the east coast, at the urging of friends and people in the music business, she decided to expand into bluegrass.

Although The Wolfe Brothers String Band first formed during the mid 1970s, the group re-established their unique old time sound in the early 1990s. Featuring three vocalists, the band's repertoire ranges from rarely heard traditional songs and tunes to their own original material. Founding members Jerry Correll (fiddle) and Dale Morris (banjo, guitar) are joined by Casey Hash (guitar, accordion) and Donna Correll (bass). The Wolfe Brothers have played at many venues including Merlefest, the Carter Fold Festival, Floydfest, the Barter Theater, and the Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival. Bluegrass Unlimited featured an article about the group in their June '04 issue, and they have appeared on the acclaimed PBS television series, Song of the Mountains. They all reside in the Grayson County, Virginia, community of Elk Creek. The band has recorded five projects. The Wolfe Brothers String Band was named 2013 Appalachian Cultural Music Association (ACMA) Old Time Vocal Group of the Year.
